Cunimail

Cunimail is an email discussion group created in 1994 by Lou Eichler at the University of Iowa. This free service is open to employees of colleges and universities who are involved in their institution's mail processing. Cunimail is NOT available to vendors, the Postal Service, or outsourcing companies.

Using Cunimail

Use discretion when sending messages to the entire list. Some comments may be helpful to many, others should be sent only to a specific individual.

When responding to messages, please respond to the sender unless you want your reply to go to the entire list, in which case send your reply to the address above.

The most common mistake in using CUNI-MAIL is sending subscribe/unsubscribe commands to the list rather than to the majordomo program that runs the list.

Etiquette

Typing in all caps is YELLING! When sending a personal response to a message, don't send it to the entire list; reply to the sender only. Sending jokes and other off-topic messages is okay, but identify them as such in the subject (e.g., NOT MAIL RELATED). Last but not least, be sure that what you send is what you want everyone to read. Once you press the send button, the message is gone and can't be recalled. Double check your message before you send it.

Copyright

Please get permission to send copyrighted material (i.e., material that is not covered by "fair use.") NACUMS comply with all applicable copyright laws.

Canadian Colleges and Universities

CANUMAIL (CANadian Universities MAIL) is a list for Canadian college and university mail professionals. Any subject relevant to our business--from campus mail to Canada Post mail, parcel and mail technology or the simple sharing of ideas-- is what we hope to encourage on CANUMAIL. This is designed to be a closed and protected discussion environment: no vendors, advertisers or even Canada Post. CANUMAIL is operated by Leslie Barcza, Manager, Mail Services at the University of Toronto. To join simply email using this link, and explaining your interest in university mail: leslie.barcza@utoronto.ca
